🆕 The “House of God”? | Why Pentecostals Treat Buildings as Sacred – EP136

May 17, 2026·1h 26m
Episode Description from the Publisher

In Oneness Pentecostalism, the church building is often treated as far more than a place to gather.It becomes the “House of God,” the place where God supposedly moves, restores, pours out His Spirit, calls people, and meets with His people in a special way. In this episode, we look at the language, clips, and Scripture surrounding sacred church buildings, altar dependence, “don’t miss the move” fear, and the idea that some churches are special epicenters of revival. Incidentally, the New Testament tells a very different story: God does not dwell in buildings made by human hands; He dwells in His people.So today we’re asking one simple question: what if God never left you?What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what is the place of my rest? Did not my hand make all these things?’ - Acts 7:49-50 ESVLast Week: The “First Lady” | The Hidden Power of the Pastor’s Wife - EP135Playlists:Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - YoutubeHoliness StandardsThe Church BuildingExamining PentecostalismThe “MOG” (Man of God)All About The MoneyAbuse In The PulpitAddressing NAYC CommentsFEAR!!!
